St. Ben Ami 14 This arc-shaped public building was designed with both careful purpose and creativity by Joseph Neufield. The façade reflects the function of each floor, from the sterile minimalist design of the laboratories and medicine store of the lowest two floors, to the slightly embellished, a deeper color of the upper floor, highlighting the importance of the management level. Unlike the plain white plaster characteristic of many Bauhaus buildings, the exterior of the center is coated with four different types, the colors working through white, a dusty sandstone and a pale rust. The building is striking in its novelty, and yet succeeds in channeling design principles through the more recognizable, shiny white, minimalist structures.
